2nd Trimester

Baby movement.

ok mommies! I am a new mommy & I freak out about everything. I'm 18 weeks and I find out Tuesday what we're having. I've been seeing where I should be feeling kicks and such. But I very rarely even feel anything, does anyone else experience that? Like, I just feel little flutters and jerks every now and then.

Re: Baby movement.

  • It's normal. I didn't feel definitive kicks until 21ish weeks if I remember correctly.
  • 18 weeks is still early.

    consistent movement may not come until the later 20s.

  • No, you're good, I didn't feel pregnancy #1 till week 22. Feeling flutters and jerks is above and beyond what I'd felt by then! 

    Preg #2 is a different story - felt those flutters at 10 weeks. I think the things we read take an average. 

    First v second, placental placement, uterus placement - it all affects what you'll feel and when.
  • I'm a FTM and I didn't start feeling kicks until 22 weeks.
  • I started feeling little taps at 20 weeks, although I realized I had actually been feeling them for 3-4 weeks prior to that and just didn't know what they were yet. I'd guess that if I got pregnant again, I'd knowingly feel them at 16-17 weeks.

  • Its VERY normal! Like others have said, all pregnancies are different. With my first I felt at 20 weeks, with this one I already started feeling at 16w3d (but this is my 2nd time around). You will soon enough feel like you have a soccer player in there! :)

  • I didnt feel flutters or kicks until 22 weeks. I have anterior placenta, and even now at 29 weeks the movement is not consistent.
  • Don't worry about it....doctors will only be worried if you haven't felt anything at around 25 weeks!
